Description

A delightful fusion of crunchy wonton wrappers filled with marinated chicken and refreshing coleslaw, delivering a unique blend of textures and flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil (divided from 1 tbsp total)
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil (remaining)
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • Oil for frying (about 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts with teriyaki sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken for approximately 5-7 minutes or until no pink remains, stirring occasionally.
  3. Prepare the Coleslaw: In another bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, green onions, rice vinegar, honey, and remaining sesame oil. Toss thoroughly.
  4. Fry the Wonton Wrappers: Heat oil in a deep skillet to medium-high and carefully fry each wonton wrapper for 20-30 seconds on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Assemble Your Tacos: Fill each crispy wonton shell with cooked chicken and top with coleslaw. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped cilantro on top of the filled tacos and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, ensure the oil is hot enough for frying and avoid overcrowding the pan. Leftovers can be stored separately in the fridge.
